Is OcuBright a Smart Choice?
OcuBright is marketed to reduce the appearance of tear stains on dogs and can even be used on cats, as claimed by the manufacturer.
It appears that OcuBright contains Tylosin, an ingredient that has been connected to negative side effects†. The best options on the market are those with no known side effects linked to them. It appears that OcuBright is only available for purchase from a veterinarian, since it contains the ingredient Tylosin. We do not recommend the use of these products.
This ingredient is dangerous and has been banned in some countries like the UK. However, manufacturers who use this ingredient will act like their product is safe for use by dogs when it really isn’t. The FDA has banned OTC products in the United States that use this ingredient and is only offered by veterinarians. This should be a last resort option in our opinion.
The cost of the product depends on the size of your dog or cat. However, we feel the most affordable options are those that retail for under $50. Products that cost more than $50 are often expensive.
According to the manufacturer, OcuBright is sold in a soft, chew that is beef flavored. If administered correctly, OcuBright is intended to offer visible results in as little as two weeks. However, the manufacturer does not state that Buy 2, Get 1 Free specials are offered.

Cons on OcuBright
Our major concern is that this formula can only be obtained by prescription because it contains Tylosin. Tylosin is dangerous and harmful to dogs. The only benefit of getting it from a vet instead of over-the-counter is that its use is monitored.
Our next concern is that a MSRP is not provided to suggest the cost of these chews. Products that are sold for under $50 are more affordable than those over $50. To see some of the best tear stain products on the market, see our grid below.
